I ended up searching the archives.. it tooks me forever to find the right words to use to get some resaults. "gauge sender" did it for me finally. Some one suggested using a wire (i used a paperclip. John Hervey always tells me "You can't have a DeLorean without a paperclip") to poke the needle through the hole that the tripometer reset lever goes through the clear plastic of the console. BE CAREFUL... i ended up scratching the guages in the area just a bit... not noticable unless you shine a light on it... but none-the-less. Once I turned the needle around a bit... then switched the car back on... it sprang back into the right position and read temperature again. James L 004009
